Background
BMW M Division unveiled the Z4M Coupe at the Frankfurt Auto Show, the two seater, rear wheel drive compact Coupe shared the engine and transmission of the E46 M3. Like all BMW M models, the car was developed by BMW's high performance M Division. The Z4M featured the 3.2 litre straight six found in the E46 M3 together with the six speed Getrag manual gearbox, which can propel the car to 60mph from a standstill in 4.8 seconds. However, where the Z4M really shines is in engine responsiveness. BMW ensured that the Z4M stood out from the rest of the range by giving it quad rear stainless steel tailpipes. The rear end shape with the sloping roof, upturned boot and muscular wheel arches are automotive design perfection. The Z4M Coupe is fast gaining a strong following in collector circles.

"It's not only the acceleration that makes the driving experience. The engine sounds stunning, too - it's meaty and muscular at low revs, while at 8,000rpm it'll make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. You often find yourself blipping the throttle and changing down, simply to savour the sound."

Exterior
The BMW Z4M Coupe looks stunning in its metallic coat of Black Sapphire paint (code 475), an optional colour for the car. The paintwork condition is excellent, with no blemishes on any panel. All the trim has a perfect finish, as do the front and rear lights, which are free from any damage or moisture. The windows drop as they should when you open the doors. The engine and boot struts operate as they should.

Interior
The Black Nappa leather M Sports seats are in excellent condition, and provide a perfect compliment to the gleaming Black Sapphire metallic bodywork. There are no marks or signs of wear to any of the trim or switchgear, with the leather retaining a wholly fresh appearance throughout. The Anthracite headlining is unblemished. The sleek aesthetic is topped-off with features like the thick rimmed M Sport leather steering wheel complete with M colour stitching and illuminated M-Division gear knob, both remaining in superb condition.

Engine & Transmission
The Z4M Coupe comes fitted with the S54 engine from the third generation M3 (E46) and was an evolution of the BMW S50 unit. This naturally-aspirated in-line six-cylinder engine puts you in touch with 338bhp and 269ft lb of torque. It has a rev limit of 8,000 rpm. The S54 engine has camshafts with variable valve timing (VANOS) with individual throttle bodies and a scavenging oil pump (to avoid oil starvation during high speed cornering). There is a Sport Button that remaps the throttle to make it more responsive when driving enthusiastically. The S54 engine was awarded Engine of the Year for five consecutive years. The Getrag 6-speed manual gearbox is the perfect partner for the iconic engine in the Z4M

Wheels, Tyres & Brakes
The Z4M Coupe has a wider front track than other Z4 models, and rides on lightweight 18" M Double-Spoke 224M alloy wheels. The Z4M has M Division suspension and steering. The front and rear brake discs are floating two piece items with internal venting which provides a huge amount of stopping power.

The wheels have been refurbished to new condition so are free from any marks. The tyres are matching Continental M3 tyres, with the fronts being recently replaced and the rears have approximately 5mm of tread.
